Haba Haba Hoo!

At the spur of the moment I decided to take Lydia to storytime at a mom & pop bookstore near us. It’s a cute old house that’s been turned into a kids’ bookstore dream. They had every kids’ book you can imagine. Every cool educational toy, science kit and cute stuffed animal. The lady that did storytime was actually a good reader, we sang songs and even made a craft from our book (which was a sweet little book about a penguin called, Lost and Found.) I was in love. (Oh, and Lydia liked it, too.)

One of the best parts was the furniture. Everything was by Haba. Which I have known of, but to see so much of it in one place was…well, addicting. You’ll see why in just a minute.

Here’s the first little chair Lydia read a book in today. (I don’t remember what she read, because I was looking at the parenting books, mainly 1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents. Anyone read it?)

Why yes, that is a giant helicopter on a cushion big enough for 2 kids to sit on!

So dear girl, allow me to ask you a question. This “discipline for ages 2-12” thing… if one were to have a 9 year old girl, (you know, hypothetically) who had never been parented by these “techniques” prior, could it still be a useful tool/resource?

GRACE BASED PARENTING is my FAVORITE parenting book… have you read it?
